Back On Top
Catch, dribble, shoot, score
Run down the floor to do it once more
Back on defense, you go for the ball
Then comes the ref to make the call
“Reaching”
The coach takes you out
You start to doubt
Then he puts you back in
Because you know of your sin
You make the shot
No worries now you’re back on top.
